STUDENT LED, STUDENT READ.

pedestrian stoplight

The Ivy Leaves Journal of Literature + Art showcases a selection of creative works. We gather our students’ storytelling in mediums both visual and literary; narratives that reflect over a century of heritage as the University’s only student-read, student-led journal. These pages hold the stories of our artists, writers, designers, and innovators, their creative identities unified in the Ivy Leaves Journal, giving voice to who we are.

Our purpose is rooted in the stewardship of stories.

In this 99th edition of Ivy Leaves, we stand on the brink of history, peering over the edge. We do not fear the already and the not-yet, that tension that is the human condition. Instead, we journey onward, knowing there are miles to go before we sleep.
